Police Using Intimidation Techniques, Military Weapons To Break Up Peaceful Protests

Posted by majestic on September 26, 2009

By Steve Watson, at Infowars:

Video footage is pouring onto Youtube that clearly shows riot police in Pittsburgh using intimidation tactics and military weapons to disperse peaceful assemblies in the vicinity of the G20 summit.

In the first video an officer appears on the scene where protesters are peacefully gathered and immediately tells them to leave the area, threatening everyone with arrest should they not comply.

The in a scene that looks as if it took place in Communist China, riot officers form a line parallel to the protesters, extending to both ends of the street, and slowly walk towards them, noisily and simultaneously marching and beating their shields with their batons.

This is a clear intimidation tactic to cause fear and psychologically effect the peaceful protesters in an effort to herd them and get them to disperse.

    Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they were extracting one of their own planted operatives in a fashion calculated to intimidate the crowd. It may sound paranoiac, but the level of scrutiny and police state style penetration of protest organizations is a well recorded fact, and pulling their own people out in a timely and convenient way before the mass arrests get underway would only make sense.
